McDowell finishes Open bid in style

Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell had the honour of setting the clubhouse lead on the final day of the Open at St Andrews and, but for an aberration at the 17th yesterday, felt he could have been in contention.

The Portrush golfer was in the fearsome Road Bunker from where he thinned his recovery across the green and into the wall over the road and ended up taking a quadruple-bogey eight.
